About

Graphic designer specializing in production-ready packaging artwork at the intersection of design, systems, and execution. I engineer scalable packaging solutions and translate brand requirements into manufacturable dielines and print files while maintaining accuracy, efficiency, and compliance.

I collaborate cross-functionally with sales, marketing, production, and external vendors to optimize packaging lifecycle outcomes for regulated manufacturing environments—delivering on-brand results and reducing approval cycles, errors, and material waste across large SKU programs.
